What we're looking for

We’re looking for a Founding Engineer to work directly with our founders and early customers to build our early product and join us in our journey toward product market fit. You’ll own large parts of the product independently, from technical design all the way to shipping into production. But in true startup fashion, you’ll be wearing way more hats than just engineering (implementation, product, customer support). You will:

• Ship and iterate quickly while being thoughtful about trade offs for quality
• Collaborate with the founders on designing the best solution for our customers’ problems
• “Color outside the lines” and challenge the status quo by bringing fresh perspectives
• Interact directly with customers to diagnose and resolve issues in the product
• Work in a variety of languages and technologies, including GCP, MongoDB, and Typescript

Who you are

• 3+ years experience in a full time software engineering role
• Motivated by delivering tangible impact to customers - you like to see your product in the hands of customers
• Track record of learning and curiosity - you’re always tinkering on side projects and may get bored of doing the same thing for a long time
• High bar for excellence - you build products that you’d be proud to show your friends and family
• Collaborative, but independent - you enjoy brainstorming with teammates but are also self sufficient and can handle ambiguity / lack of structure
• Located in or willing to relocate to the Bay area.
• Bonus points if you can split the tie between coffee ☕ and matcha 🍵!

Who we are

Caro is a headcount platform for enterprise teams founded by Roopak and Cathy. For software companies, headcount is 70%+ of spend, and the team is the lifeblood of the company. Yet, it’s notoriously difficult to get right (as evidenced by all the layoffs). Our solution gets the finance teams, people teams, talent teams, and hiring leaders on the same page. We’ve got awesome customers, years of runway, and we’re backed by the best - Accel and Lightspeed.

Benefits

• In-person culture at our beautiful Palo Alto office
